Peek inside Purdue football workouts

The football team’s early morning workouts started Monday inside the Mollenkopf Center. They’re held Monday, Wednesday and Friday the next two weeks.

Based on what it out there on Twitter and from talking to punter Cody Webster on Tuesday, this year’s workouts under first-year coach Darrell Hazell have a different feel than previous years.

“I think you’re going to have to come and see for yourself,” Webster said. “Not something I can describe.”

Webster then added: “I’ve never thrown up, but I came close Monday.”

Although Webster has joined the baseball team as a pitcher, he’ll still go through the workouts. Webster will miss Friday’s session since he’ll be with the baseball team in Starkville, Miss.

“They’re challenging but that’s maybe something we were lacking before,” Webster said. “No knock on the coaches before, but maybe that was something that separated us from the Big Ten champions. Maybe a little extra running, a little extra gasser, another station or another five minutes of running. I think what coach Hazell has planned is really good for us.”

Webster said this year’s staff is demanding more from the players.

“The difference would the length of it and how much they demand,” he said. “They demand a little bit more.”
